Dwarf Seahorse

where do you get something like that?

i so want one

Hi, thanks for your note. The little dwarf seahorses sure are cute. I was lucky that my local pet shop had them. Maybe you can request your local shop to order them for you -- they seem to be pretty easy to take care of -- don't need much space, etc. I placed them into a new little 2.5 gallon set up just for the dwarf seahorses and added some seaweed -- they just love it. Hopefully they will have offsprings soon.

Oh yea! how much did you pay, because like all nano-reefers were poor.

I think they were about 15 bucks. I hear you on the poor side!

hey i like that seahourse, but i dont know much about them.

i have a 5 galon nano-reef with a star eye hermit crab you think its ok to have them in one tank

Hi Azislis 24... I think that these very small "dwarf seahorses" would be ok in a 5 gallon tank. I currently have mine in a 2.5 gallon tank. I'm not sure how big the star eye hermit crabs are, but if they are less than an inch big, then i'm sure they would be fine! (Just want to make sure that the crab can't go after the little sea horses). If you have to ask your local shop to order them for you, make sure they know you want a little "dwarf seahorse" they only grow to be about half an inch! The last thing you want is for them to get you some other type of seahorse that would be 6 inches or larger for such a small tank! But if you can locate the dwafs and the crab is cool, go for it! :-) Just make sure you get some seaweed for them. Also for feeding, I have a little brine shrimp hatcher in my tank. (I just throw the eggs into the hatcher, and these newly hatched little baby brine shrimp seem to be doing the trick for mine!) They have been pretty hearty and easy to take care of. Hope this helps. Good luck!

wow.... thats awesome! .75 gallons is prolly way to small, but i can dream about it right? lol. Good luck with them! I'd luv to get some updates and more pics maybe a movie...

www.seahorsefarms.com sells dwarf seahorses cheap and everything you need for them

Hi,

cool seahorse. may i know which local fish store you go to? I live in nyc too. did you get all your corals there too? would love to know. the only one i know is on 38th st. and prices are sky high there.

You're probably talking about New World Aquarium, right? They are really cool, and I've found that they have a great selection. You're right that their prices may be a bit higher than some other shops, but sometimes (not always) it's ok to splurge on a nice coral or whatnot. The dwarf seahorses I acquired from Petqua on the upper west side.

That's true. new world have very nice coral and the staff knows corals too. I got a blue bubble from them not too long ago. it's awsome.

May I know the address of the pet store on upper west side ?

I would love to go visit. Pls...................

I don't got the exact address on me at the moment but it is in the upper 90s and on Broadway... I just did a quick search online and found it:

Petqua

2604 Broadway (98th-99th)
